Wake Up TriCounties Ameren Illinois Call 811 Brian Bretsch

Did you know that just digging a spike in the ground requires a call to 811? It's true, even something as simple as pitching a tent in a residential neighborhood could risk hitting a line or damaging something below the surface. That's why Ameren Illinois wants everyone to remember JULIE and call 811 before any, and they mean, ANY digging project. Before you put anything into the ground call 811 and within 48 hours someone will be on sight to make sure that your digging project doesn't endanger you or disrupt anything underground. Brian Bretsch from Ameren Illinois talked about JULIE 811 with WKEI on Wednesday.
